Thank you. That was fun. I have an '85 Biarritz in that exact color, not touring suspension. I bought it in '01, with only 47K mi. I've put another 100K on it. No engine troubles, doesn't use a drop of oil. I've kept up repairs, the interior looks like new. The paint is now somewhat tarnished; I'll have to have it renewed. It's the best car I've ever had. I plan to keep it forever.
I've watched a lot of George's videos and he previews many stunning cars BUT this rare Cranberry Red color is just drop dead gorgeous. Until the video, i didn't even know this color was offered. I've seen these in the slightly more common Autumn Maple Firemist Red but NOT Cranberry. What a real treat to watch this video.
Beautiful pristine caa !! - great job showcasing & videotaping this Eldorado Biarritz, so anyone who has these Cadillacs or wants to purchase one, can see exactly how everything is in place correctly on these Eldorado's because this Eldorado is PRACTICALLY NEW !!
I have my Dads 83 Eldorado. Nice lifelong Southern California car. Silver color with beautiful cream leather seats and Silver interior. Upgrades include the aluminum alloy wheels and Bose stereo and Digital Dash..Auto leveling. Original engine no issues. Runs fine.
Wow that baby is gorgeous....❤....i had an 84 Burgundy, over burgundy, I had the same interior right down to the reclining passenger seat...., But not loaded up like this one here.... I wanted that top and that moon roof so bad.., Didn't have the Digital dash either..., An my trunk pull down worked good...haha..., Always had trouble with the air ride , Good running motor though, until oil pump went out, Wish they would've kept putting the 403 in them them.... Thank you for showing, Brought back special memories.... Dated my wife in this car....👍
I think I just drooled on myself! Bumper fillers are what I looked for too. I have an 18,Cadillac in Florida w/ a few more miles than that. Car is about perfect.
Complaints about the HT 4100 are overblown. We had a 1985 convertible that we towed a boat with. Plenty of torque and mid range horsepower. The car is not about performance it’s about cruising in style and luxury and the ride as you know, is heavenly.
This was at the Larz Anderson Automotive Museum in Brookline, Massachusetts. The tan “carriage house” in the background is the main building - lots of 100 year old and even older cars inside.
This Eldorado had to have been garaged for years to be this pristine, only 27,000 miles, if it's still available, how much? I have an '85 beige Biarritz, they're fun to drive and you'll get a lot of compliments. Most people appreciate older classics. Today's cars look identical, they're basically designed for 30,000 miles before they start falling apart. Modern cars are a joke.
This is an ht4100 don't drive it car. Everybody knows it's the self-destructing engine my friend was a mechanic at a Cadillac dealership he told me of numerous valve covers he removed with handfuls of aluminum filings that the hd4100 was the worst engine ever put in such beautiful cars. The Eldorado we ordered in 1983 cost of whopping $31,000 cuz it was The L4 package everything you could get same as this car he's showing except it doesn't have Vogue to spoke wheels and Vogue Tires but it's got everything else that the car we ordered the white interior with the Autumn Maple fire Mist was truly beautiful color combination very popular with the convertible that came out. If I got a hold of that Cadillac the first thing I do is get a 1979 350 Eldorado engine and switch out the power plant and say let's go driving all the way across America so that thing doesn't have to be in trucks or trailers or could actually cruise on the actual road with it at 3:00 in the morning at night cruising down in interstate and not know oh my God the engine's coming apart it's an ht4100. One time I was on the side of the road walking down the side of the road because of a car that had broken down and I Came Upon a big burn spot on the side of the road and lo and behold I leaned over and guess what I picked up off the ground around the burn spot and ht4100 emblem. So that ought to tell you what eventually happen to so many of those cars that had that engine if they didn't blow oil and cool it mixed together with a aluminum filings under the valve cover they burnt to the ground. Good argument for an engine swap. But for me all my Cadillacs all eight of them were built and produced before the year 1979 the 425 is a great motor. It gets me where I want to go everyday. And only drinks non-ethanol $4 a gallon gasoline.
Cadillac did some internal updates to the HT4100 in early 1984 due to customer complaints. The HT4100 was dramatically better mid-model year 1984 and all of 1985 for reliability. As long as the pellets are added to the cooling system during the coolant change one should have no unusual problems with these years of Eldorado. Of course, they will never be neck snapping performers - but WILL be smooth cruisers.

I had an 84 Seville with the 4.1. Slowest car I have ever owned but I didn’t care.
Clean

Those seats...
So comfy
would it be for sale ?
Hmm!...interesting color, would you happen to have the factory paint code? Thanks!
Indeed a beauty ! Too bad what's under the hood is a nightmare.
Actually I love the 4100
What are you trying to get for it?
This one is not for sale sorry
Do you have a yellow Buick LeSabre for sale?

This is an amazing example. The owner may consider an offer around 30,000
The last of the real Eldorados. What came after was pitiful.
They definitely were!!
WHATS THE PRICE??
Could NOT GET mine to stop dripping fluid out the front drive differential cover disgusting tolerances, will never own a Cadillac again
Sound like you bought a beater...
